    I have a 05 VFR and I need the torque value for the rear wheel lugs. A shitty shop in AZ, Apache Honda, PHX, put my pilots on today and the rear wheel is running really hot..Torque? Not sure, but I am looking at the easy shuff first. If you have input, please hook me up....Speed Safe Will
    P.S. They scratched both rims....

    Hot? that's not the reason why your rim? is hot, or are you talking tire? I only tighten my rear wheel on by hand, but have a good feel for whats tight enough. check your tire pressure, as a low tire will run hotter than normal. should have 33-36psi IMO I myself run 33psi But then, where you're at on a nice sunny day, thinking here, you'll probably see 150+ degree road temps..

    The rim is getting hot. The tire pressure is 38, Pilot Power. It was 100D today.Wheel spins freely no issues there, just seems hot at the rim. Will

    Honda states torque is 108Nm. on the 05. Bummer they scratched your rims ... : ( Will go with RVFR in the heat thing; at 100 degrees I'd be headin' for an airconditioner. LOL
